Firefish goby and Green chromis are not recommended together based on the current rule check.

not recommended

Quick answer

This pairing is not recommended by the current rules. The highest-risk factors are marked as fail below; fixable water-parameter overlap alone does not cancel out predation, aggression, fin-nipping, or explicit avoid-tag conflicts.

Factor breakdown

Factor Result Explanation
Water type OK Firefish goby is saltwater; Green chromis is saltwater. Compatibility pages are generated only for matching water types.
Temperature OK Temperature overlaps at 24-27 C. Firefish goby is listed at 24-27 C; Green chromis is listed at 24-27 C.
pH OK pH overlaps at 8-8.4. Firefish goby is listed at 8-8.4; Green chromis is listed at 8-8.4.
Salinity OK Salinity overlaps at 33-35 ppt. Firefish goby is listed at 33-35 ppt; Green chromis is listed at 33-35 ppt.
Adult size and predation OK Adult sizes are not an obvious predator-prey mismatch (Firefish goby: 8 cm; Green chromis: 9 cm).
Temperament and aggression OK Firefish goby (peaceful timid) and Green chromis (peaceful to semi-aggressive schooling) do not have an obvious aggression clash in the dataset.
Fin nipping risk OK The dataset does not flag this pair as a fin-nipper plus long-finned combination.
Schooling and group needs OK Neither species requires a large school in this dataset, though normal social behavior still matters.
Explicit avoid tags Conflict Avoid-tag conflict found. Firefish goby avoid tags matching Green chromis: none. Green chromis avoid tags matching Firefish goby: timid.
Minimum combined tank size OK Use at least 55 US gallons (208 L) for the pair, based on the larger minimum tank plus bioload and activity adjustments where relevant.
